Set on miles of pristine beach, this luxurious island retreat is elegant and sophisticated, with exemplary service.

The residential-style villas perched above the beach with private infinity pools, as well as garden cottages, offer more spacious living areas for families. Complimentary services include 24-hour butler service, with Champagne and strawberries delivered daily.
